The exact same thing happened to me when I was a thirty-something living in Phoenix, right down to the fabricated complaints. That was a rough stretch, because the apartment manager at the time not only was not renewing our lease, but was also ripping us to prospective landlords every time we called for a reference, making it impossible to find a place.

Finally we got around it by having them call on the weekends, when the people that actually liked us were working in the office.

I think that's why I'm so damn nice to my tenants, and bend over back wards for them. Apartment managers border on having WAYYYYYY to much power on some people's living situations, and that is just plain wrong.
